members warming up for a game at last
year's Bonners Ferry Swish tournament.
This year, they'll be helping organize
it. |
At this morning's
Bonners Ferry Rotary board meeting, a merger
between Bonners Ferry Swish and the Rotary was
formalized, and it will be the Rotary, with
secretary Ron Sukenik serving as chair, who will
be behind the organization of the region's
biggest three-on-three basketball tournament,
behind Spokane's Hoop Fest.
This year marks the fourth annual Bonners Ferry
Swish tournament, and the previous chairs, Brett
Brown and Brad Holifield, can attest to what a
big undertaking organizing the event is. Growing
bigger each year, the event drew more than 300
players from around the region last year, and
this year's event, taking place on Main Street
in down town Bonners Ferry July 16-17, is
expected to draw even more. In addition, more
than 1,000 spectators lined the street, cheering
on their team.
In addition to the hoops action, there are also
a number of organizations that come in to
provide food, entertainment and fun.
The one thing the event needs more than anything
is volunteers; referees, scorers, time keepers,
court monitors and more.
Thankfully, Ron is starting out with the full
support of all members of the Bonners Ferry
Rotary Club, including the very capable Colet
Allen, who is helping with the logistics. If
you'd like to play, register a team, volunteer,
donate or get involved in any way, give her a
call at (208) 267-8130 and leave a message, or
shoot her an email to
colet@meadowcrk.com. |
